The Speaker of the Upper House, Abdi Hashi, has rejected a request from the caretaker Prime Minister to take control of the northern regions of Somaliland.
Abdi Hashi said there was no solution to their concerns that the election administration would be handed over to Roble, and that the dispute between the two factions of the Somaliland Electoral Commission needed to be resolved.
He said the destiny of the nation could never be transferred, and that the people of the North had a constitutional right to decide their own destiny and to ensure the independence of their elections.
"The Somaliland Political Council informs you (Prime Minister) that the destiny of the nation cannot be transferred and that the people of the North have a constitutional right to decide their own destiny and to ensure the independence of the 57 seats in both Houses." said in a letter issued by Abdi Hashi.
Abdi Hashi's two-page statement went directly to the caretaker Prime Minister, heads of state and the Benadir region, and suggested three points that he said could be key to resolving the crisis. .
The three proposals submitted by Abdi Hashi to the Leaders of the National Consultative Assembly are;
Establishment of electoral direction: Abdi Hashi and Mahdi Guled to co-lead the electoral administration.
Reconciliation of the two sides of the commission: with a fair distribution of the chairmanship of the two parties.
The polling station and its security: To hold the elections in Halane and to ensure the security of the Somali Police Force and AMISOM.
